Kevin Plank is a wealthy man.

How wealthy? Well, according to Forbes he’s worth $3.2 billion.

The Maryland native, who made his fortune via his Baltimore-based athletic apparel company Under Armour, was included on the publication’s list of billionaires at No. 577 in the world and No. 201 in the United State’s.

That’s up from his No. 731 on the overall list in 2014.

“Under Armour founder Kevin Plank is richer than he’s ever been, but the billionaire entrepreneur still sees himself as an underdog. He trash talks his rivals, calling Adidas his ‘dumbest competitor’ and refusing to call Nike by name,” according to the publication.
